Unified Login or SUL (Single User Login) is a mechanism which allows users
to use a single global login on most of the Wikimedia Foundation's projects.
It allows to maintain a consistent identity across all linked projects, and
no you necessarily don't have to login manually to each Wiki.
You first need to Merge your account by visiting [[Special:MergeAccount]]
to perform Login Unification. if your particular wiki is not allowing access
through SUL and you have to login Manually each time, for example Strategy
Wiki does that from time to time, you might need to file a bug. Check with
other users on your wiki if this is a consistent issue, and post on VP.

AFAIK, Unified login just gives the option of logging
in with the same
username and password, without creating a new one for each wiki project. You
still need to login manually with that unified user name and password
combination.

Hi all,
I know that sometime back unified login
happened.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Unified_login
This is what I was doing :-
a. Was in EN:WP and logged in - looked at the entries.
b. Went to hindi wikipedia and tried to edit an article. I was not logged
in.
c. Thought perhaps I'm not chosen Unified login so went to
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MergeAccount, says you are
unified.
d. Did a shift-F5 and refreshed the page without the cache, for some
reason the login didn't happen.
Any pointers as to what could be the issue ? This is on Mozilla
Firefox 3.6.3 on an Ubuntu 10.04 box although do not think its
something to do with either the browser or the distribution.
